    Todd Monken is coming back for a second interview 

    Changes my opinion a little.

    But it could be genuine interest in Monken and an interest in keeping Schwartz.

    Id hire Schwartz over Monken - all day

    I would have just left the coaching staff alone at least for another year

    I was here but as the season wore on even with the team playing hard in December I thought we needed a reboot.

    Berry should have been gone.

    And I fear that Berry is on a short leash…candidates know that…so you have GM making a choice at HC that could be gone in the near future and a new GM taking over and in all likelihood wanting at some point to make his call on the HC position.  
     

    Backwards.

    I think Stefanski desparately wanted out. He had enough of this crap when they traded Flacco to the Bugles.

    yes, it was kinda fucked up to leave him with 2 rookies and zappe at qb

    That is my working theory, although l think he’s been positioning for an exit strategy since last year. I think he had seen enough and wanted a better football environment.

    That or in reality the Browns are limited to who would actually take the job. 
     

    Someone in demand isn’t coming here. Doesn’t mean the next hire can’t be a good one, but there probably would have to be some luck involved. Pretty much a situation where the Browns picked a guy who kind of flew under the radar 

  • Which is why you don't get rid of KS without a plan. 

    Getting rid of a couple of our past coaches didn't matter as 'anything' would be an improvement, KS was not a dumpster fire however.

    He's a Falcon now.

    Assuming they knew that Kevin was going to be let go, how could they form a plan?  At least any different from what we are seeing.  It's not like you can start talking to people whenever you want.

    I agree.  The decision on Stefanski was made some weeks before the end of the season. I am sure they started to assemble a list of potential coaches, but until you can actually sit and talk there isn't much else you can do.
